I'm guessing Dad's passed on and you're trying to do two things:
1. Keep a tractor of sentimental value.
2. Help Mom out a little with living expenses.
IMHO, #2 just trumps any desire to pay a "fair" price for the tractor. You should be as generous in your offer as you can afford to be. I would START at $3500 and go UP from there. Make your Mom think you're getting the deal of the century.
Advice from one "young 'un" to others: If you have a tractor that you want to keep, make sure you make your intentions CRYSTAL CLEAR to your folks. When they decide to sell the tractor, you get first dibs.
